The radical left, emboldened by the trashing of Komen, is expanding its assault to other charitable organizations as well. And across the leftosphere, it’s been way more than victorious football-spiking. Progressives are out for blood. I’m only half joking when I say I expect to see conservative piked heads in no time. John Cole’s fanning the agitation, that’s for sure, ” They Fucking Hate You .” And from the comments , just a sample of the bloodthirsty mob: We have them outnumbered, and they have already been doing their worst, all this time. They are already literally murdering people as best they can, calling for it as openly as they can, and doing everything short of that as well. It is ON. If it comes to eye-for-an-eye ‘wingnut hunting season’, I swear I will not shed tears for these people. They’ve challenged my liberal instincts enough. I don’t owe their point of view a goddamn thing. They’ve been lying and/or wrong all this time and I’m fed up with it. I’m supposed to be alarmed if I say, ‘hi, I’m a socia1ist’ for fear they will claim my ideas are bad for everybody? Reality says THEIR ideas are bad for everybody. Very beat down and frustrated by this point. Don’t want to go full reactionary, but I’m wondering why the hell not. Just keep reading those comments for a taste of how desperate these f-kers are. Man, this is going to be one hella election year.

Well, this is interesting. At Washington Post , ” CNN’s Roland Martin suspended for homophobic tweets .” And New York Times , ” CNN Suspends Roland Martin for Remarks on Twitter “: [VIDEO PULLED] 5:26 p.m. | Updated CNN said Wednesday that it had suspended Roland Martin, one of its commentators, three days after he posted Twitter messages that were interpreted by some to be anti-gay. “Roland Martin’s tweets were regrettable and offensive,” the cable news channel said in a statement. “Language that demeans is inconsistent with the values and culture of our organization, and is not tolerated. We have been giving careful consideration to this matter, and Roland will not be appearing on our air for the time being.” In one of his many Twitter messages, Mr. Martin suggested on Sunday that if a “dude at your Super Bowl party is hyped about David Beckham’s H&M underwear ad,” he should be smacked. In another message that day, he made a similar suggestion about a football fan shown on TV wearing a “head to toe pink suit.” When Mr. Martin received angry comments from online readers about the Beckham remark, he defended himself by saying that he was mocking soccer players, not gay people. Right. The hashtag was #teamwhipdatass. See a slideshow of Martin’s tweets at Huffington Post, ” CNN’s Roland Martin Under Fire From GLAAD For David Beckham Super Bowl Tweets .” This is especially interesting since Roland Martin is a progressive lefty, and these folks are supposed to be all about tolerance.

Wow, what a night! At Los Angeles Times , ” Rick Santorum wins Republican votes in Minnesota, Missouri and Colorado “: Republican long shot Rick Santorum poked holes in Mitt Romney’s aura of inevitability Tuesday night with a trio of upset victories that shifted the dynamic of the 2012 presidential contest. The former Pennsylvania senator’s wins in the Minnesota and Colorado caucuses and Missouri primary were setbacks for Romney, the national front-runner, who had been expected to cruise easily through a series of relatively minor February voter tests. He must now wait three weeks to regroup, when Arizona and Michigan hold what suddenly are shaping up as unexpectedly important primaries. In remarks to delirious supporters in St. Charles, Mo., Santorum took a swipe at Romney’s big advantage in money and the negative ads he’s used to defeat his opponents in previous states. He also lashed out at President Obama, describing him as someone “who thinks he knows better” and doesn’t listen to the American people. “Ladies and gentlemen, I don’t stand here to claim to be the conservative alternative to Mitt Romney. I stand here to be the conservative alternative to Barack Obama,” Santorum said, setting off chants of “We pick Rick!” Reflecting what he sees as the altered shape of the race, Santorum told CNN that “now we’re in a little bit of a no-man’s land” as the candidates move into states where they haven’t had months, or years, to campaign. Romney, who won Minnesota four years ago, was running a weak third behind Santorum and Ron Paul. Speaking to a deflated crowd of backers in Denver, Romney said he was “pretty confident” he would come in either first or second in Colorado’s caucuses, his last hope for salvaging a bad night. But hours later, state Republican Chairman Ryan Call announced over CNN that Santorum had won. He congratulated Santorum and said that he looked forward to coming contests and a united party when the primaries ended. But he also struck a pose as a populist outsider, speaking of his father’s humble roots and casting himself as the antidote to the problems in the nation’s capital. RTWT.
